Signals from each sensor, PTC, A/C switch etc. are sent to the
air flow volume arithmetic circuit in the auto amplifier. Air flow
volume is determined by this circuit.
(1) When the air flow volume is set to ML
The air flow volume arithmetic circuit gives current to Tr
p3,
which turns the ML relay on. Thus, the blower motor rotates
in the ML condition.

(2) When set to HI
The air flow volume arithmetic circuit gives current to Tr
p1,
which turns the HI relay on. Thus, the blower motor rotates
in the HI condition. Also, Tr
p2and Trp3are receiving cur-
rent and as a result the ML and MH relays are on.
(3) When set to LO
The air flow volume arithmetic circuit does not give any cur-
rent to Tr
p1,p2norp3.
Only the LO relay turns on and so the blower motor rotates
in the LO condition.

STARTING FAN SPEED CONTROL
The starting fan control system is so designed to prevent excess cold air from being expelled after the engine
is started when the engine coolant temperature is low.
The component parts related to this system are the water temperature sensor microswitch, HI, MH, ML and
LO relays, blower motor, resistance and auto amplifier.
When the fan switch is set to AUTO, the mode is selected either B/L, FOOT or FOOT/DEF and the engine
coolant temperature is below 56ÉC (133ÉF), the speed of the blower motor is fixed in the LO position.
LO, ML, MH AND HI RELAYS
The LO and ML relays are located on the auto amplifier bracket,
and the MH and HI relays are installed on the back side of the
audio unit. Each fan relay operates according to the air flow vol-
ume determined by the auto amplifier. The blower motor then
operates accordingly.

DISCHARGING REFRIGERANT
WARNING:
Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and
throat. Remove HFC-134a (R-134a) from A/C system using certified service equipment meeting
requirements of HFC-134a (R-134a) recycling equipment or HFC-134a (R-134a) recovery equipment.
If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service. Additional health
and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.

Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in
Compressor
The lubricant used to lubricate the compressor circulates through
the system with the refrigerant. Add lubricant to compressor
when replacing any component or after a large gas leakage
occurred. It is important to maintain the specified amount.
If lubricant quantity is not maintained properly, the following mal-
functions may result:
lLack of lubricant: May lead to a seized compressor
lExcessive lubricant: Inadequate cooling (thermal exchange
interference)

Blower speed: Max. position
Temp. control: Optional [Set so that intake air temperature
is 25 to 30ÉC (77 to 86ÉF).]

gauge, and check that the high pressure side pressure is588
kPa (5.9 bar, 6 kg/cm
2, 85 psi) or higher.
If less than the reference level, attach a cover to the front face
of the condenser to raise the pressure.
3. Perform lubricant return operation for about 10 minutes.
4. Stop engine.
CAUTION:
If excessive lubricant leakage is noted, do not perform the lubri-
cant return operation.
Should the compressor be replaced?
No Yes

2. Remove the drain plug of the ªoldº(removed) compressor (applicable only to V-5, V-6, DKS-16H or DKS-17CH com-
pressor). Drain the lubricant into a graduated container and recordthe amount of drained lubricant.
3. Remove the drain plugand drain the lubricant from the ªnewº compressor into aseparate, clean container.
4. Measure an amount of newlubricant installed equal to amount drained from ªoldº compressor. Add this lubricant to
